As mentioned above it is strongly discouraged to use hard coded MAC addresses.
Yes, because you seem to get stuck with the fixed MAC addresses even though I mentioned that they are for test, please ignore them. Problem is that default environment is not setup correctly. Only bootargs is set. No bootcmd, netmask, ipaddr, serverip is set. Should they be defined differently in configuration file than what they are defined in version 1.1.2 in order to get them to default environment?
Sorry, but I fail to understand you here. Please give an example.
And by default environment I mean the environment you get when the environment sector has invalid CRC (for example sector is empty).
Please do this test and let us know if the behavior changes.
The network started working. I removed my test code and set the ethaddr and eth1addr and both interfaces were found by U-boot.
Such a small sentence for such a big and good news. So for the record:
YOU HAVE TO USE MICROCODE VERSION 2.0!!!
(Sorry for shouting.)
One thing though. Not so much related to ixp425 - platform. When I erase memory, I get dot printed to screen after every sector. When I copy something to flash I get nothing. It seems as U-boot got stuck after that command but after a while command is finished.
Yes, this is the way to current implementation handles the "cp" command. At least in the common CFI flash driver.
Is there a way to get some indication that something is happening?
Not sure if this is welcome. The "cp" command is not a (NOR) FLASH specific command, but a memory subsystem command. So a change here would also affect a copy from memory to memory too.
But sure, technically it is possible to do. You could implement this behavior (e.g. print a dot each second while copying) and send a patch to the list.
